NEWPORT NEWS — Police in Newport News have arrested a second suspect in a recent homicide, and investigators believe this is the man pulled the trigger.

Oris Wiggins, a 30-year-old with no known permanent address, was arrested just before 8 a.m. today and charged with murder. He is charged in the shooting death of Timothy Terrelle Brand on Aug. 8.

Police arrested the initial suspect, Tawan Tyrone Thomas, on Friday morning after receiving a citizen's tip through the Crime Line. At the time, police spokesman Lou Thurston said another arrest was anticipated. Thurston said investigators believe Wiggins was the gunman in the homicide. He did not disclose what Thomas' suspected role was. Both men are charged with murder and the use of a firearm in commission of a felony.

Brand was shot to death on Aug. 8 at a residence on 45th Street that police say was a "shot house" that dealt in illegal liquor sales. Investigators say an altercation broke out among Brand and other people inside the residence that led to the shooting.
